Lone Survivor: Apocalypse

Lone Survivor: Alone and Scared- Awakening the Beast

A/N This is the first chapter in the book. Hopefully you can see that this is fairly short, not totally finished. A short revision is needed, (maybe a large one.) But this is the short opening to book two. Thanks for being part of the Lone Survivor Community!

"Selena, he's dead." Edgar says, noting Jack had been unconscious for ten months. With the attack coming, they had shorter time to prepare. "He can't be. It may just be a coma-" Selena was cut off by Charlie. "Comas aren't triggered by a machete slash to the gut. He's probably dead. Go and get James Erikhart, Michael Sullis, and Steven Grokan. They're out in the fire station left of Old Jackson Town Hall." Charlie finishes off the order roughly. Lugging around he body of Jack hadn't been very exciting for the group, and the medium sized group had progressed farther than before. Starting out as Jack, it evolved into Selena, Jack and Edgar, then came Charlie, then they found Derrick Danson, who was recently eaten by a walker, who was avenged by James Erikhart, Michael Sullis, and Steven Grokan, who, are all best friends from grade 2. They were tough and athletic, and essential to the group. Steve was a 'cook', James a 'tech wiz' and Michael an athletic man. Edgar is a weapon specialist, Selena is a Medic, along with Charlie. Jack was a Weapon Specialist Medic mix. But even with all these skills, they can't agree on one thing- Charlie leading the entire group. The silent assassin was holding the group together, and only when he feels needed he speaks. He had been watching Jack since the incident, and had waited for the right time to explain to the group. He felt now was the time.

"Jack had been clutching his wound in a certain way. He was opening it, as if there was something in it. While I was patching him up, I removed the chipped blade of a Swedish Butterfly Knife. The attacker was prepared for any attack, because the Butterfly Knife is a remake of the Bowie Knife, and only focusing on assault. If this blade was to hit a butterfly, it would demolish it, hence the name Butterfly Knife. But, Jack had got the blade stuck in him, which means the blade was very old." Charlie pulled the blade from a pocket, and it was rusted with blood. "Jack wasn't slashed with the machete." Edgar said. "Correct, and incorrect. He was, but the knife had caused the big cut. Jack was hit in the arm with the machete." Charlie said, and layer down the blade. James grabbed the blade, and examined it. "This isn't a butterfly knife. It's a dual-length Survival Blade, made for ripping apart any wild attackers." Michael nodded. "Yeah, I have one in my bag." Edgar smiled. "I might have some competition." A chuckle spread through the group, Charlie clearing his throat to regain attention. "So, Jack is not out for the count." A sigh of relief escaped Selena, and she smiled. "I knew he would pull through."

JACKS MEMORIES

"SELENA!" Jack cried out, as Selena was stabbed in her right arm. She screamed in pain, and Edgar was out cold on the grass. Jack tried to reload his Colt M16A1, but it ended too late. The blade flew past Jacks ear, but it slashed his shoulder as it spun by. The blade impales itself in a tree, and the tree claims it. The blade won't leave the tree. Jack kicks the assailant, pushing him down as Jack smashes the stock of the gun into his face repeatedly. If that didn't break his nose, Jack was a leprechaun. The blood seeped out of his nose, and flowed softly out of his mouth. Jack grinned and stepped off, satisfied when his eyes closed. Jack caught a baseball bat as it was swung at him, and ripped it out of the attackers hand. He bashed it into his stomach, making the attacker spit blood. Jack did the same thing he did to the last attacker to this one, waiting for the closed eyes. He stepped off, and then darkness.

PRESENT DAY

Jack shot up like a bullet, breathing heavily, and sweating. Michael smiled. "Jack is awake!"
